Even though my mother has dementia, there are certain events from her past that she has no problem remembering. Hearing God’s words is one of them. Having lived what she calls a ‘good Christian life’ in her own eyes, Mum went through some struggles in her late sixties, trying to understand those age-old questions common to us all, ‘Why, God? Why aren’t You doing anything?’ As she rattled off a list of all the things she had done for God,…
It’s been a while since my last post. Many things have changed in my life over the last number of months, but change is good, right? I remember being told by a school teacher when I was a child that the only things guaranteed in this life are change and taxes! Well, I was too young to understand the impact of either! I recall when we moved interstate, the strangeness of feeling positive and excited about the change and the…
Over the last couple of years, Disney released The Mandalorian series. The Mandalorians are bounty hunters and part of a sub-culture that could be likened to a religious sect. They serve one purpose, and their missions are ultimately toward that purpose. Those in the inner circle, who passionately serve in the cause, follow a creed. There are frequent scenes where they counsel one another with this statement “This is the way”. In Jeremiah 31:31-34, God foretells a new way is…
Some Heavenly Counsel A couple of years ago, I felt the Lord whisper something along these lines; Don’t build your well and then look for the water; find the water and build the well. I knew the thought hadn’t come from me because there was too much wisdom in it. And it is a piece of heavenly advice that I hold in my heart. I share it with you in case you hear something of the Lord in it relating…

When I was a kid there was an ad on television advertising some frozen seafood – fish fingers or something of that nature. It involved a man dressed in a chef’s uniform, frantically swimming around in a large fish tank holding out in front of him a frying pan of fish, whilst being followed by a shark. The idea was that the fish in the pan was so fresh that the shark was wanting it. I’ve tried looking for…

Have you ever seen a movie where a submarine is submersed in the ocean and the enemy above is dropping depth chargers? I saw this in a movie the other week and Derek explained to me how the depth chargers worked and what they were intended to do. Basically, the closer they explode to the sub the more damage they will do. But it’s all about creating pressure. When the charger explodes it creates incredible pressure on the sub…
